The mayor tried to fire him first, but that didn't hold so the officer was suspended indefinitely, and without pay.

All I can say, is fvck nepotism. From the looks of it, this might cost the mayor his job.

STOCKTON -- A traffic stop involving a young officer and the son of a small-town mayor has the whole town talking. The mayor of Stockton tried to fire the officer for issuing his son a ticket.

Cpl. Joshua Rowell told KSL News he was just doing his job. He said he acted professionally when he wrote the driver a ticket and was shocked when he was suddenly asked to hand over his badge.

"The mayor, I think, was wrong," said Stockton City Council member David Durtschi.

You THINK?

"There's no more respectable position than a police officer, in my mind," Rowell said.

Please, Mr. Rowell, I suggest you stay away from the "monkey"....., the "ridemonkey" that is..........

Yeah, the Mayor was clearly out of line. It's funny though how the secretary and office both make it seem that if he had known it was the Mayor's son he would have let him go. I assume that's common practice but growing up in a small town where the kids with political parents got away with all sorts of s**t makes it hard to accept.

No union...this is Utah.

Local political corruption here is a little ridiculous. Think Louisiana-lite and Mormon Republicans.

 

[igz-]

That's ironic...


Just today I saw two cops talking on their cell phones while driving....

Bastards...

Meanwhile, over in Orem:

OREM -- A massive marijuana plant growing in plain sight on a busy street all summer long?

Orem Police Sgt. Craig Martinez says there's no doubt what the plant was: pot, obviously.

The plant flourished on the curb near 1350 West and 130 South, not far from Center Street and Interstate 15. It reached 7 feet tall before anyone called police to report what they saw.

WTF is up with Utah??

Was she hot?

I ran over some old lady/
One night at the county fair/
But I didn't get arrested/
Because my dad's the mayor!
